Re:I hate leaks (got a Q)
Yeah got the same problem here....Guess because my flange got bend when I welded the collector to it.
I tried to grind it straight, but It's not straight enough
I will grind off some more and use 2 gaskets

Re:I hate leaks (got a Q)
I took everything out today and it only took like 30 min! I had everything ripped out in no time.. whew..
Took some pictures which doesn't really matter, but I did anyway (they are on my geocities site in my sig).
I wouldn't waste your time making them.. that's what I did the first time and now I pay the price. The only thing I would try is some type of sheet metal idea, but I'm not sure if it would hold the heat
there's a lot under there.
I knew I had some type of problems when that little rhb5 turbo didn't reach full boost until 3200 rpm. Can't wait to have this fixed and driving again.. also fixed a restriction in my intake side pipe.. wow, some major improvements here... lol

Re:I hate leaks (got a Q)
Ok... I'm going to try something new. I got this gasket sheet stuff at NAPA and it's suppose to be the real good stuff. I'll be trying it out and I'll let y'all know how it holds.
It's green in color, and it's only around 6 bucks for 1 sqaure foot.
